Good luck buddy. Remember that the most important thing is discipline. If you still didn't write down your schedule, you should. Try to stick to it. Assess your self and accomplishments every now and then. And re-adjust your self accordingly.

one thing is that i do not want to have regret after the exam that i wish i cud have read more and stuff cuz nothing can be changed afterwards so im going to give my one and final best shot at it with 100% dedication .
Time has already strted ticking and evry hr passses reminds me of my exam day , i think scheduling a date and working in tht time frame is the best thing cuz it makes you lil nervous and anxious and that is must to givea kick start.
NOW EVRYTHING CAN WAIT FOR ALL THESE DAYS AND IF I WANT THIS THEN I HAVE TO SACRIFICE EVRYTHING ELSE. so its 3 in the afternooon and as i said tht i have already scheduled my D-DAY so im going to start with goljan now......
good luck evryone and god give me the courage to read with perseverance and persistence.

I WOULD LIKE TO POST SOMETHING IMPORTANT SAID BY OUR FRIEND SOS.....i think if all of us study in this way then we all will not only be good test takers but also goood doctors as well..... after all one or the other day we will be seeeing patients by ourselves and they wont have 5 option written on the head to pick from so lets make medicine intresting
one more thing is try to make your reading less painful and more fun.... forget the exam..... read as if you want to learn about the wonders of human body,the marvelous work of god,the cleverness of those little bugs,our ever so smart immune systems,the wonderful job of drugs and how they work,....... etc etc...... make curiosity and sense of wonder an integral part of your studies and you will soon see the results...

Hi match 2010 , good going! Thanks for putting up SOS quote - when I was in medical college I always wished I could study for passion and not for exams. So this is our chance - 2n d chance and ofcourse we have an exam at the end. As Kalyan says it is a game - we have to enjoy the journey. I am also hoping to take the exam by Aug end and am on my first read. Good luck!

thnx target and simon !! oh goood to know tht both of you are taking exams in aug end so tht we can keeep checking on each other and not lose the path .
one thing i hv noticed about the exam is that you have to put hard core work for 3-4 months to ace it and not take 7-8 easy preparation cuz one of the member said that it becomes mundane and u cant remember if the prep is tooo lenghty so i will try yo give my best shot .
i am scared  ....back to the boooks will update it tonite ....

oh this prep is really exhausting i know it has been few days only but im scared and not completing the target puts more pressure and hats off to all of you guys who took the test cuz i think sitting for 8 hrs with tht much pressure and then doing those 350 q's is a real bravery in itself !!

MY FAVOURITE ALL TIME INSPIRATIONAL SONG.
kuch kariye
kuch kariye
nuss nuss meri khaule…
hoye kuch kariye
kuch kariye
buss buss bada bole…
ab kuch kariye
koi to chal zidd fariye
doobe, kariye ya mariye
chak de…
ho chak de india
chak de…
ho chak de india
nowhere to run nowhere to hide
this is the time to do it now
goonjon mein galiyon mein
ration ki phalliyon mein
mahalon mein beejon mein
id-on mein teej-on mein
raeton ke daano mein
filmon ke gaano mein
sadkon ke gaddon mein
baaton ke addon mein
hunkara aaj bhar lein
dus baarah baar kar lein
rehna na yaar peeche
kitna bhi koi kheenche
tass hai na
mass hai ji
zidd hai to ho
zidd hai ji
pisna yuhin
bas kariye….
koi to chal zidd fariye
doobe, kariye ya mariye
koi to chal zadd fariye
doobe, kariye ya mariye
chak de…
nowhere to run nowhere to hide
this is the time to do it now

Sometimes winning is everything, take a stand , now or never
Choose a high , leave your mark , now or never
kill doubt, stand for something
Prove something, make waves, never say die
Live your dreams, conquer your fears
Take a risk, erase boundaries
Beat the odds, trust your instincts
Take up a challenge,never give up
prove urself
Own your words , right a wrong
Dare to dream, push the limit
play with pride, wake the spirit
go for glory
Tougher the better, face your demons
Its your time, taste victory
nothing is impossible if you put your mind and soul into it.
